En este retelling artúrico, Nicola Griffith nos regala una historia nueva profundamente asentada en la tradición, y nos sumerge de lleno en la magia de Camelot. Peretur, una chica que ha crecido salvaje en la naturaleza, parte en busca de Caer Leon, hacia un lago que ha visto en sueños y con la esperanza de convertirse en uno de los caballeros del rey Artos. En el camino realizará gestas, derrotará bandidos y enamorará doncellas, pero en su pasión por la vida olvidará el peligro del que su madre la protegía, y cuyo destino es hacer frente.

Lovely writing, not sure I grasped the ending
3 stars
This one fell short for me, despite the lovely prose and the fascinating main character. I never felt connected emotionally, and so I lost out on much of what was intended. I also didn't understand the ending (major plot hole? or just me being dense?). This felt more like a novella, and I really wish there'd been more to it - both deeper emotionally and more developed plot-wise.
